If steering switches are used instead of a steering potentiometer, only part of the steering map is
used as shown in Table 6.

Table 6 Objects to set when using steering switches
NOTE: During a turn the inner wheel speed is slowed by power reduction instead of braking to
prevent the outer wheel motor working against the inner wheel motor.
Driveability profiles
WARNING: Ensure driveability profiles are disabled when not required. Activation of a
driveability profile can cause driving parameters to change.
Driveability profiles allow you to set maximum values for speed, torque, acceleration and
deceleration for use in a range of operational situations. In addition, in torque mode, there are
ramp rates for speed limits as well. and Figure 30 show the change in speed and torque target
under various driving conditions over a period of time.
